Trololo i want it BACK!

I know its still playbale in manual created games, but it's a bit hard to get peoples in such games, so now such maps if forced not to be played
(hard not becouse of trololo, becouse of manual rooms, no one joins it all prefer auto managed hosts)

its good that trololo is banned from autohost

It is blocked because some developers consider quickmatching rooms as dedicated newbie rooms and Trololo as not newbie friendly.

If people don't feel like creating and joining a room manually to play this map, then they don't care enough and have to stick to QM rooms' maplist. Simple as that.

you troll guys abusing the vote system and force start is why we cant have troll maps, not the map itself. In any case, last time I checked anyone can host games, so feel free to host trololo

>I think trolol/duck etc. are easy to play.

Newbs don't understand why their com is instantly surrounded by 10 other coms and instantly killed. It makes ZK seem like some sort of arena game, not an RTS. I have no problem with Trololo, we just need to keep it in a "silly games" server that will make it clear to the users that they are playing a silly game, and one not representative of the majority of ZK gameplay.

that is, so long as nobody hides fleas in the titan duel potholes

So, trolls want to play Trolol, everyone else hates it?

Right, good to know.

why? because of.... no.

Yes I think this is the real issue - if you want to play troll maps it forces you to think and act like a kid :P


Skasi> Users ARE in an arena when playing ZK. There's no way to flee, ever.

If games would not take longer than 30 minutes, you could easier join other games.
Big teams splits players too much - nobody enters other rooms.

Nobody joins 1v1 rooms (good to learn to avoid your own faults) and when someone does, only because you didn't click spec - game instant-starts after a join without even a ring is even worse than no game (because it hits you while you are eating, working elsewhere or reading a book).


The solutions are much simpler than we think:
* reduce game time to 30 minutes.
* get newbe/troll rooms and competitive rooms (good approach and preparation for PW too).
(Rename rooms)
* ZK Small trolling room (newbes welcome)
* ZK Medium trolling room (newbes welcome)
* ZK 1v1: competitive entrance
* ZK Test: Test the new balance first! (pass=test)
* * It should say you what revision the last stable has, and link to the changes page.
* ZK Small competitive room (no trolling)
* ZK Medium competitive room (no trolling)
* ZK Big room, no lol maps (newbes+trolls welcome)

The big room is for trolls and newbes both - we have not the playerbase to split big team games.
And if you don't want trolls (go to medium room) it encourages more parallel games.

Apparently we have an average of about 275 unique players per day.
